What is Microneedling (Dr. Pen)?

A precision device creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, switching on the body's own repair response — new collagen and elastin. Performed under topical numbing by trained clinical staff with single-use sterile cartridges.

What it treats

Acne scars
Enlarged pores
Fine lines & early laxity
Uneven texture
Stretch marks

Who is it suitable for?

Most skin types, including darker skin tones when performed with correct settings — one of the safest scar treatments for Sri Lankan skin.

Expected results

Gradual, natural improvement as collagen rebuilds — visible from 4–6 weeks, continuing for months after the course. Individual results vary.
